Reconstructing a Torah Scroll from the Cairo Genizah
A rare manuscript from the “silent period” of Jewish scribal history.
One of the oldest manuscripts in the Cairo Genizah—the great repository of discarded documents found in the Fustat synagogue—is a fragmentary Torah scroll, dating to sometime between the 5th and 8th centuries BCE. It is a rare example of a scroll from what specialists call the “silent period,” which began in the 3rd and lasted until the 8th century. That is, this scroll was written after the era of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but before the development of the scribal practices still in use today.
